The Wife of Bath

The wife of Bath was one of my favorite tales. It keeps me interested till the very end. The wife of bath's views on marriage and sex were very enlighten to me as a youth. She was a very headstrong woman and had alot of common sense. She believed that god wanted her to have as much sex as possible, under marriage. Something I found most interesting was the way she like when woman treated her bad, but she knew how to control and manipulate them. She would constantly marry for money, with her older husbands. But with her 5th one, she found herself more in love then ever. Many women in our day and age do this. They will marry for money, and some would even go as far as to kill their husbands. However, I don’t think the wife of bath would go thought all of this when she knows exactly how to control her husbands. Another thing is the faith she puts in god, and the way she believes that what she's doing is perfectly okay. And when priest and ministers tried to tell her otherwise all she asked for was the proof in the bible where what they were saying was right.
